Five-star hotel in a building dating from 1895 beside the Pile Gate, with 139 rooms and 8 suites overlooking the city walls. The best-placed large hotel for walking into the Old Town.
Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik occupies a building dating from 1895 at Marijana Blažića 2, directly opposite the Pile Gate, the main western entrance to the Old Town in Croatia's Dubrovnik-Neretva region. This position makes it the best-placed large hotel for walking into the walled city: the Stradun, the Rector's Palace and the city walls walk entrance are all within minutes on foot, and the Pile bus terminus, the starting point for most city and airport-shuttle services, is at the door. The five-star hotel combines a late nineteenth-century facade with refurbished contemporary interiors, and its rooms look out over the city walls or towards the harbour approaches. It has 139 rooms and 8 suites, offered as Standard, Superior and Suite categories, with rates of about €170 to €450 per night depending on season. Amenities include air conditioning, wifi, room service, a fitness centre, a bar and a restaurant serving a full international breakfast and dinner menu. There is no large resort-style pool complex, so guests who want to swim usually head to the nearby Banje beach or to Lapad. Service follows the Hilton brand standard, with a front desk and concierge able to arrange walking tours, island excursions to the Elafiti archipelago and airport transfers; the character is business- and leisure-friendly and well suited to couples and short city breaks. Noise from the busy Pile area is the main trade-off for the location, and rooms facing the interior courtyard or upper floors are quieter. Since the hotel sits at the foot of the Old Town, evening visits to Dubrovnik's restaurants and the summer festival venues need no transport at all. Guests arriving with luggage can reach the property directly by taxi or shuttle from Dubrovnik Airport, about 20 km away.
